CWM wont find zip

Hey guys
I wanted to update my rom before, never had any problems in the past. I have flashed many roms.
I flashed a new hboot (cm7r1, worked fine) but when i go to CWM to select the rom zip, no files are found.
I have re formatted my sd etc, the computer see's the zip file but the phone wont
Anyone?
Thanks

Do you search for zip via normal flash from SD card or via the update.zip-method?

Have you tried re-flashing CWM via ROM Manager ?

@OP: DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER! It's a horrible software which causes more problems than it solves.
A re-flash might help, but then do it via fastboot (according to your signature you are S-OFF, so you can use fastboot).

thanks guys
managed to sort it by wiping the sd through cwm
getting a new 16gb card today anyway
thanks for the help

[Q] Can't boot after failed root attempt

SOLVED
So today I decided I would try to install a custom OS/ROM whatever it's called on my HTC One X. I unlocked the bootloader successfully without any problems. Then I went on to root the phone, and this is where it all went wrong. I found a tutorial and followed it to the tiniest detail. I am unable to link to it because I am a new user. When my phone rebooted it went to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot screen. I left it there for 30 minutes and it still didn't move on. What do I do now? I am a super noob at this, and I admit that I am an idiot for not reading more up on it first, it just all seems so super complicated.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

well, pm me the link so i can check the instructions you followed and maybe help you

so it hanged just after you run the script to root device, right? after you ran the script in the shell, did it return any error?

No, no error, it said "Daemon launched successfully" or something along those lines, my phone turned off and turned back on to the HTC boot screen.

Ok, try this: if the phone is still on keep the power button pressed till it restarts and press also vol down button until you arenin the bootloader; if the device is off, enter bootloader keeping power and vol down button pressed... Now my suggestion is to flash a custom recovery and a custom rom, you will get root privileges and the phone will work again...

If you are unlocked (you see it in bootloader) you can flash a custom recovery and a custom rom. Look up for your favorite Recovery and flash it.
Download the img File to directory where you have the fastboot files and run this code in command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
After it you can boot into Bootloader and turn to recovery to get access to phone and SD Card/flash Rom

Did you flash boot.img and erased the cache?

Okay, so I successfully flashed TWRP and launched into recovery mode with it. How I get the custom ROM files on my SD card, when I plug my phone into my computer with USB it doesn't show up in the drives section, so I can't open up the SD card.
Another thing is that with the latest version of TWRP for my phone touch doesn't work in the recovery mode. There's a version that does, but it says it doesn't have USB mount or something like that. What's the next step?

You need to mount sd card via recovery, and having the touchscreen working is better as it will be easier to move inside aroma installer... Use philz recovery (if you want a sense rom use 5.15.9, if you want kitkat use the last version), enter the recovery, plug the phone into pc, mount sdcard via recovery, copy the zip over it and follow the instructions to install rom... You can find the instructions in every rom thread op... Ask if you need more help

Thanks for all the help, I am really starting to get a better understanding of how this actually works. I flashed Philz recovery and went into recovery with it. Then I went to mount and mounted USB Storage. Is this the right thing? It still doesn't show up on my PC

I flashed latest version 6.19.3. There are only 3 versions available as far as I can see. They are:
6.19.3
6.12.8
6.07.9
I'll try flashing the two other versions and see what happens.

Thank you! It finally showed up on my PC after a minute. I wanted to try Android 4.4.2 KitKat custom ROM "Carbon" so I want to ask a bit of an off-topic question. What are the GApps thing that I am told to install with the ROM? Why are they so important, what do they do?

have you flashed boot.img via fastboot and erased cache via fastboot? the commands are
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
remember that first boot can take a while (in some cases up to ten minutes)

HTC One X Semi Bricked NEED HELP.

Hello,
Well, I was trying to install some new kernels but somehow my phone went into Boot Loop.
After that, I accidentally formatted my system and system memory. End Result: Their is nothing in my SD Card Right now.
I have searched in this forum and others for 2 days and still can not find a proper solution. Now, my laptop and computer does not recognize my device through adb device. I tried to insall stock rom through RUU but it gave an Boot Loader Version Error. However, I managed to install philz recovery and tried to mount memory but still no luck, I can not push files through adb as it can not recognize my device.
My CID is 02_001. I downloaded the matched CID RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_O2_UK_1.26.206.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251230_signed) but it didnt work. My image number of the phone (I dont know what is this actually) is like 4.xxxx and the image number of the RUU is 1.xxxx.
The HBOOT version is 1.72 S ON.
Can someone by someway, please give me the link of UPDATED RUU so that I can flash to stock rom or just help me to find a way to transfer custom rom to my phone memory so that I can flash a custom rom.
I was using VIPERX ROM 4.1.1,as the phone was draining alot of battery so over efficiently I tried to FLASH BRICKED KERNEL.
NOW I AM STUCK, HELPLESS and after losing the battle I am posting this thread.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH A SUITABLE ANSWER.
I would prefer to install stock rom but it wont work I guess because of the updated HBOOT version.

SM-T310 Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 - Storage Wiped - Help Me Install CM

Hi guys, much thanks for your help.
I had the unofficial CM11 nightly installed on my GTab 3 8.0 but it got corrupted. I used PhilZ Touch to wipe the storage but I can't find a guide to help me re-install CM on this device.
I tried to use Odin to install CM11, but it won't take .zip files. I converted the file to .tar so I could try and flash it, but Odin immediately crashed.
Please help me fix this device.

To add - There is no ROM installed on this device. It has only the philz touch recovery installed.
I can't turn the tablet off - The device just constantly displays the battery icon. When I try to turn it on, it boots and endlessly displays the galaxy tab 3 boot splash screen.

I'm not familiar with philz, I'm using TWRP, but I used TWRP to install CM11. I'm assuming philz is similar.

Yes lloydsw, PhilZ is ClockWorkMod based. PhilZ has similar functionality to TWRP.
My problem is that I don't know how to get the ROM zip file onto the tablet. If I can get it on the tablet, I'll have no trouble installing with PhilZ.
I tried to adb a little bit, but I keep getting Access is denied errors. For some reason, I have been getting these errors recently whenever the Console is involved, even if I launch it with admin rights. I think Microsoft changed Console functionality with a recent update. So, I didn't try too hard.
So, how do I get this rom file into the tablet?

Put the zip on an external sdcard and use that.

Hi gr8nole,
I don't think I have an microSD. I have an old SD card but I don't think the Tab 3 will take that.

Is there some kind of GUI tool, like the nexus root toolkit that let me flash .zip files on this thing? I don't why odin doesn't take the most common kind of compressed file. I'm kind of stuck here.

You have a couple options.
Download the full firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with odin. Then re-flash custom recovery.
Or, continue trying to get the rom zip onto your device. Either get a micro sdcard or get adb to work.
If you get adb working, remember you have to mount the data partition before you can send anything to the internal sdcard (internal sdcard is simply a link to /data/media).

Hey everybody.
I searched my house for microSD cards, and I found one in an old dumb phone. And I recovered some pictures and info that I thought was lost. I found sd card adapters in another box. I put them together and installed the rom easily.
My tablet is working fine, thanks to everyone. Not only is my device working again, I found my lost data. yes!
gr8nole, special thanks to you. Have a great day!
